Additional Insights
- Shares cooldown with Pavise.
- But the Solar Crest doesn't just stop at fortifying your hero, it's a team player! This marvelous crest can be used to target either allies or enemies. When applied to allies, it enhances their armor and evasion, making them more durable and harder to hit. Alternatively, when cast on enemies, it reduces their armor and accuracy, making them vulnerable to your attacks and those of your teammates.
